I'm never good at that sort of thing! I couldn't suggest any possible male candidates either I'm afraid.

How about anyone else....
I'd say Male : James Nesbitt
And if it has to be female

I've always thought Robert Lindsay would make an excellent Doctor, but in the present era of pandering to the kids (with the inevitable merchandise that they crave) it is unlikely to happen. A groovy older brother is more marketable than an enigmatic, slightly insane grandad figure that was almost the 'norm' back in the 60s and early 70s.
He's not the best, but worst? Worse than Pertwee, Colin Baker, McCoy?I may have to watch this episode, even though I think Matt Smith is the absolute worst Doctor there has ever been.

Not during the original broadcast, but I have seen repeats
Not to be confused with the People's Front of Gallifrey

Another mediocre episode tonight....
When are we going to have murder and mayhem from Daleks or Cybermen or preferably both

I'm sorry, how can Pertwee be included in the worst ?
(btw, I'm a Peter Davidson man myself).

Cybermen are back very soon! Might even be half decent too...

Sounds good , any sign of Davros ?
The worst is Mcgann in that "American Psuedo Who" production
Yes I saw that when it went out. It didn't herald a new beginning !
But I reiterate my point - I don't get the dissing of Pertwee.

Neither do I , I have liked all the Doctors including Peter Cushing in The Films.

Excellent episode tonight - but I'm confused...
Is John Hurt the next Dr Who ???
I heard no whispers about his appearance - a complete shock and pleasant suprise

In America the DVD of the series was released in error last week so they've seen the final episode and John Hurt is definitely the new Doctor.
I am not particularly a Doctor Who fan but have a lot of relatives in the USA and one told me on Skype the other day that the Elephant man is the new Doctor, although he might only be him for one episode.

Ther ehave been a few internet stories that I have seen as far back as two or three weeks with photos of John Hurt filming for the 50th Anniversary show. He is also supposed to have leaked the fact that he plays the Doctor himself (though that may have been with the backing of the production team).
The costume Hurt was wearing on set has been described as a cross between Ecclestone's Doctor and McGann's. Ther eis less information about what could be in the plot, but I am pleased about that and I intedn to avoid any more spoilers from now until November 23rd!

It's a great development for Whovians, perhaps as suggested Hurt will be a transitional Doctor.
I don't think they could afford him as a permanent replacement.
All we need now is Davros back
You mean "the voice of the dragon"
One thing is certain - if the Doctor Who team put something like that in open play this early,it means that something completely different is going to happen.
Really, The Rani? I shall have to divulge myself in "The Time Travellers Almanac" to fInd out more if that is the case.
I heard that John Hurt would be the 13th Doctor, but if that is true, the question remains, who is the twelfth?

Back to the thread though. Having watched it up to now IMO this series is improving...it's just taking a bit of time. There still seems an air of mystery about it though. There is some on-screen chemistry betwen the two lead characters, but not as much as there has been in previous series.
Popular opinion in fandom is that John Hurt could be the 'real' 9th Doctor. Or that he is the 'real' 1st Doctor. Or The Rain. Or The Valeyard. Or The Other (I confess to not knowing who that is). Some even think he is Omega.
Then again, these theories come out about just about any character that joins the series with a bit of a mystery behind them...
Well my thoughts are that he's the Doctor that fits in between McGann and Eccleston, specifically the Doctor that ended The Time War that destroyed Gallifrey and the Daleks. Which to my mind explains why Smith's Doctor reacts so negatively towards him and why he would have been 'erased' from his active memory. If I'd been responsible for wiping out my whole species I don't think I'd want to spend much time thinking about it!
